Join us at Micah for Sunday at the Movies, an adult education series. For three consecutive Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., we will screen a movie with discussion following. Choose just one or come for all three! Light snacks will be served.

April 21: "The Other Son" 

"The Other Son" is the moving and provocative tale of two young men -- one Israeli, the other Palestinian -- who discover they were accidentally switched at birth, and the complex repercussions facing them and their respective families.
Directed by Lorraine Levy, released in France in April, 2012.

NY Times Review:
"The film is propelled by a hopeful, good-hearted humanism, and it sets out to show that, in spite of political, religious and cultural divisions, people are people."

602 IMDB users rated the film at 7.1 out of 10 stars.


Upcoming Screenings
April 28: "Hollywood: An Empire of Their Own"
May 5: "Walk on Water"

At risk youth in Israel...

The confidence of these young boys grew right in front of us as they sang for us in the community synagogue. We had lunch with several of the students who had visited Nashville in the past as part of our partnership with our sister city. It is wonderful to see first hand where some of our Federation dollars are donated. The community is very thankful of our support and of the Get Connected program!

Caesarian

Heading up the coast, our fellow travelers stopped at the ancient Roman ruins to learn about Herod's building. Now a National Park, we are off to a youth Aliyah village where the most vulnerable of Israeli citizens (orphans and other troubled kids) are cared for. It is a place our local Federation supports.
